ORDER

ROBERT PITMAN, District Judge.

Before the Court is the report and recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Andrew Austin concerning Defendant Microsoft Corporation's ("Microsoft") sealed motion to for summary judgment, (Dkt. 21). (R. & R., Dkt. 40). In his report and recommendation, Judge Austin recommends that the Court grant the motion.1 (Id.). Plaintiff John Thompson ("Thompson") timely filed objections to the report and recommendation on January 17, 2020. (Objs., Dkt. 43). Microsoft responded to Thompson's objections on January 31, 2020.

A party may serve and file specific, written objections to a magistrate judge's findings and recommendations within fourteen days after being served with a copy of the report and recommendation and, in doing so, secure de novo review by the district court. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). Because Thompson timely objected to each portion of the report and recommendation, the Court reviews the report and recommendation de novo. Having done so, the Court overrules Thompson's objections and adopts the report and recommendation as its own order.

Accordingly, the Court ORDERS that the report and recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Andrew Austin, (Dkt. 40), is ADOPTED. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Microsoft's motion for summary judgment, (Dkt. 21), and DENIES Thompson's objections to the report and recommendation, (Dkt. 43).

IT IS ORDERED that Thompson's claims are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
